Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 Anyone recognize Maid Marian's horse from the 1938 Errol Flynn version of Robin Hood? At the time his name was Golden Cloud. In 1943 his stage name was changed to Trigger.
Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 I think he made out better as trigger.

Alpo Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 You suppose he got paid? Think about it. He got star billing in the movies. Sometimes he was second billed. STARRING ROY ROGERS, AND TRIGGER, THE GOLDEN PALOMINO Hell, sometimes he was billed ahead of Dale.
Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 WOW!!!!! Now this is the kind of posts I love to see on the Saloon. Interesting stuff from the good old days. Anybody know what happened to Nellie Belle or Dale's horse Buttermilk?
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Nellie Belle was in the Roy Roger & Dale Evans museum in Victorville the whole time it was open. No clue what became of her after the place closed down.
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 My wife and I got married in the spot in the park where they filmed Robin and his men's encampment. Bidwell Park in Chico,Ca. Looks like that photo was in the park.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted July 7, 2023 Author Posted July 7, 2023 Sold again in 2018. Took a big dive in price.
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 RFD TV owner Pat Gottsch bought Trigger and Bullet at the Christie's auction in 2010 for $266,500 and $35,000 respectively.
Warden Callaway Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 There was a horse named steel used in a lot of westerns. Many John Ford westerns. So much on demand, the stable wouldn't rent him out unless the movie company rented the rest of their horses from them. Here is Ben Johnson escaping the indians on him.
Alpo Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Always loved them scenes of being chased by the Indians. There's one - do not remember what the movie was - but the Indians is on the warpath so the soldier is escorting the woman settler back to the fort. She's in the buckboard and he's on a horse. And here come the Indians. And he takes off. And she's screaming HELP ME HELP ME DON'T LEAVE ME. And he brings his horse to a screeching halt and whips her around and goes charging back to her, and she looks all relieved, and he pulls out his pistol and shoots her in the face and then whips his horse around and starts galloping away. And his horse falls and when he quits rolling he grabs up his pistol and shoots himself and the Indians is about 10 ft away when he does it. They just looked so damn disappointed.

That would be “Ulzanas Raid”! And they WERE disappointed!! He spoiled their “fun”!

Alpo Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 No, Tell is right. Ulzana's Raid. This is the only clip I could find. It's right after that scene. Seems like the trooper shot the woman and grabbed the boy and pulled him up on the horse behind him. Then when the horse went down (did he step in a hole or did the Indians shoot him?) the trooper decided screw the boy, and shot himself. The Indians have taken the boy captive - notice his hands are tied - and one of them is about to cut the woman's ring finger off to get her wedding ring. And the boy pushes him out of the way and sucks his mama's ring off her finger, so her body doesn't get mutilated.
Joe LaFives #5481 Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 You can see the scene in this at the 1:00 mark.
